Gene Hackman gives arguably his best performance to date as King of the Bugger's Harry Caul, who finds the tables turned when he learns that some of his routine surveillance tapes may have figured in a murder. This highly and widely acclaimed triple-Oscar-nominated 1974 Francis Ford Coppola film, which makes chilling observations about personal privacy and civil liberties that are as--if not more--relevant today then they were nearly thirty years ago, is finally available on DVD, and includes a "making-of" and two audio commentaries (Coppola, and Oscar-nominated film editor Walter Murch). Not to be missed! Highly recommended. Editor's Choice. (S. C. Sickles)
